Phish

On June 23, 1989, when Phish performed "Fee" at The Paradise in Boston, the band was at a crucial point in their early career. This performance took place just a few months before the release of their debut studio album, "Junta," which would come out in 1989. The live recording captures the band's improvisational style and intricate musical interplay, elements that would define their sound as they rose to prominence in the jam band scene. Interestingly, this period also marked the height of Phish's early following, as they were attracting audiences with their unique blend of rock, jazz, and funk influences. The performance at The Paradise is a testament to the band's dedication to live music and their ability to create a communal and dynamic atmosphere, which would become central to their identity in the years that followed.
